How does the nipah virus spread?, I?m going to Kerala via a bus and I?m concerned about the virus. The place where I?m going is 600 km away from the quarantine area but the travel is through the quarantine area, so what all precaution should I take to avoid infection?,

Transmission of Nipah virus to humans may occur after direct contact with infected bats, infected pigs or from other people infected with the virus. As you will not come into contact with any of these you need not worry.
